Summary
Rob Fahey is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of experience helping teams bake quality into their development lifecycle and deliver predictable production changes. He blends hands-on coding across multiple languages with deep expertise in BDD, frontend automation, performance testing, and DevOps practices including containerisation and CI/CD. Rob has led quality and test strategy at companies from ASOS and Moonpig to INSHUR, championing outside-in development, automated quality gates, and repeatable test suites. He also runs his own testing consultancy, applying practical techniques that balance risk and velocity for fast-moving teams. Comfortable with cloud-native tooling (GCP/GKE, Argo CD, Buildkite) and systems-level performance work, he’s as likely to author a test framework as to coach a team into owning quality. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who knows when to push for architectural change and when pragmatic delivery is the right trade-off.
